The D.C. Rape Crisis Center hotline saw a 20 percent increase from the 75 to 100 calls it usually receives each week, while the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) had a 35 percent spike since the footage was released. According to Indira Henard, executive director of the Rape Crisis Center Hotline, Trump's remarks were a trigger for many survivors, who called to talk about the unwanted touches they had received.

"When you're a survivor of a sexual violation, listening to someone share their trauma can shake up your trauma. It can also give you courage to share your story," Henard told the Post.
